Smart Notebook

Smart Notebook is a great way for the students to interact with the lesson.  As I am still learning about the software as well, there are so many different ways to make every lesson interactive.  I think one of the most helpful aspects is the template guide provided.  This template guide will bring up tons of ideas to help inspire your own creative ideas, or you can simply download and edit others if it works for your lesson.  Another feature I find helpful and useful is that you can create items to become and infinite clone.  If you ask students to come to the board and drag a certain number of objects to a location there is no need to have them pre-done.  You can use as many items as you need and then reset the presentation for the next time you use it.  I am incredibly excited to create my own lessons using Smart Notebook to make my students feel more engaged.
